But not every executive appreciates the show’s satirization of the real Silicon Valley.

According to the New Yorker report, the writers of Silicon Valley met with Astro Teller, the head of Google X — the division of Google responsible for “moonshot” projects including Google Glass and self-driving cars. That meeting ended poorly, with Teller “standing up in a huff” and attempting (emphasis on “attempting”) a dramatic exit, says the report.

“His message was, ‘We don’t do stupid things here. We do things that actually are going to change the world, whether you choose to make fun of that or not,'” Silicon Valley writer Carrie Kemper told the New Yorker.

The issue, Kemper says, was that he felt that the show was disrespectful to Google X and its projects. In the second season of the show, fictional Google analogue Hooli forms the HooliXYZ “moonshot factory,” a clear parody of Google X.

But where the real Google X is working on high-minded stuff like universal connectivity and drone package delivery, HooliXYZ built potato cannons and provided a backdrop for crude monkey masturbation jokes.

The funniest part, Kemper says, is that Teller’s attempt at a big exit was thwarted because he was wearing rollerblades. He fell to the ground, got up, and stumbled his way to the door. Then, he couldn’t find his ID badge to leave the room…all in clear view of the gathered “Silicon Valley” writers.

The writers weighed turning the event into a joke, but decided it was “too hacky to use on the show,” Kemper told the New Yorker.

HBOThe fictional Hooli is a Google analogue, down to the well-stocked kitchens.

This isn’t the first time that the real Silicon Valley have pushed back at the satirical show. Back when the show first premiered in 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was extremely critical, saying “most startups are a soap opera, but not that kind of soap opera.”
